Recently uncovered documents seem to prove that President Barack Obama was involved in a deal that intentionally gave Iran an easy way to restart its nuclear weapons program.
The secret side deal was hidden from the American public for months. And it could allow Iran to quickly develop a nuclear bomb after Obama has left office.
Restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program will start to ease years before the 15-year accord expires, advancing Tehran’s ability to build a bomb even before the end of the pact.
That’s according to a leaked document that was revealed Monday, first reported by The Associated Press.
The confidential document is the only text linked to last year’s deal between Iran and six foreign powers that hasn’t been made public. It was given to the AP by a diplomat whose work has focused on Iran’s nuclear program for more than a decade, and its authenticity was confirmed by another diplomat who possesses the same document.
Both demanded anonymity because they were not authorized to share or discuss the document.
The diplomat who shared the text with the AP described it as an add-on agreement to the nuclear deal in the form of a document submitted by Iran to the International Atomic Energy Agency outlining its plans to expand its uranium enrichment program after the first 10 years of the nuclear deal.
But while formally separate from the bigger nuclear accord, he said that it was in effect an integral part of that pact and had been approved by the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the six powers that negotiated the deal with Tehran.
It also proves that Obama apparently withheld key information from the American public about how the pact affects Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Details published earlier outline most restraints on Iran’s nuclear program meant to reduce the threat that Tehran will turn nuclear activities it says are peaceful to making weapons.
But although some of the constraints extend for 15 years, documents in the public domain are short on details of what happens with Iran’s most proliferation-prone nuclear activity — its uranium enrichment — beyond the first 10 years of the agreement.
The document obtained by the AP fills in the gap. It says that as of January 2027 — 11 years after the deal was implemented — Iran will start replacing its mainstay centrifuges with thousands of advanced machines.
Centrifuges churn out uranium to levels that can range from use as reactor fuel and for medical and research purposes to much higher levels for the core of a nuclear warhead. From year 11 to 13, says the document, Iran will install centrifuges up to five times as efficient as the 5,060 machines it is now restricted to using.
Those new models will number less than those being used now, ranging between 2,500 and 3,500, depending on their efficiency, according to the document. But because they are more effective, they will allow Iran to enrich at more than twice the rate it is doing now.
In other words, while Obama is enjoying his retirement, Iran will be enriching uranium for warheads.
While the document doesn’t say what happens with centrifuge numbers and types past year 13, U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz told The AP that Iran will be free to install any number of advanced centrifuges beyond that point, even though the nuclear deal extends two additional years..
In selling the deal to skeptics, the U.S. administration said it is tailored to ensure that Iran would need at least 12 months to “break out” and make enough weapons grade uranium for at least one weapon. Moniz said the document obtained by the AP posed no contradiction to that claim because “we made it very clear that we were focused on 10 years on the minimum one-year breakout time.”
Iran insists it is not interested in nuclear weapons, and the pact is being closely monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA says Tehran has essentially kept to its commitments since the agreement was implemented, a little more than six months after Iran and the six powers finalized it on July 14, 2015.
Marking the agreement’s anniversary Thursday, President Barack Obama said it has succeeded in rolling back Iran’s nuclear program, “avoiding further conflict and making us safer.” But opposition from U.S. Republicans could increase with the revelation that Iran’s potential breakout time would be more than halved over the last few years of the pact.
Also opposed is Israel, which in the past has threatened to strike Iran if it deems that Tehran is close to making a nuclear weapon. Alluding to that possibility, David Albright, whose Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security is a U.S. government go-to resource on Iran’s nuclear program, said the plan outlined in the document “will create a great deal of instability and possibly even lead to war, if regional tensions have not subsided.”

Impeachment would take longer than Mr. Obama has left. But maybe Congress members could grow a pair (of you know what) and fight Mr. Obama’s policies a lot harder. But maybe this is too difficult for these timid Congressmen/women.

Congress will set on their ass because they are afraid of his. If anyone says anything he is a racists..

Obama is a disgrace to the both races he is, he has divided more people in the last almost eight years than history can show in the last fifty years…..if he lived in Iraq as a citizen he probably would have been bound and tossed off a three story building…..

A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots! AND TYRANTS AND BUREAUCRAPS!!!
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the media panders to your openly socialist leader while the IRS targets groups with dissenting views— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government ‘cracks down’ on legal gun sales to law abiding citizens while secretly supplying illegal guns to Mexican drug cartels— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your local government (Chicago) outlawed gun ownership for ‘the safety of its citizens’ and now boasts the worst murder rate in the country — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
What a country!
How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America?

Great post!!!
The Globalizer says
That Post has been going around for donkey’s years … since the Reagan revival as I recall.
This particular administration has little to do with it … having said, I too agree with many of the sentiments expressed therein, but much of the tomfoolery was inflicted by State or City governments rather than the Feds. Place blame where it belongs because that’s the only way we’ll ever be able to address the resulting problems
Just Sayin’

No state or local government had anything to do with the Iran deal. Soro’s is the puppet master here with all the garbage both Obama and Hillary put into place. All should be jailed. Traitors!

Semper Fi says
If we only had some politicians with a set maybe just maybe he could be impeached,But i guess it will never happen since they are all spineless money grabbers
John says
November will tell. Trump will start setting up for the changes then
John G says
And this was suppose to be the most transparent administration in the history of the country – impeach both President O’bozo and John Kerry then try and jail both for treason Hillary the “Hun” needs to be included as well.
Helen Higgason says
Oh, I agree with you, just how evil can these people be, they’ve done everything wrong they can possibly do, what else can they do, well for starters,,they can finish off by setting off they’re dictatorship views, more than ever we could imagine, this is being daily by that Muslim , dictator, Muslim Obama, if get rid of this evil man, I pray we NEVER vote in another one , like this idiotic president we supposedly have now, oh lord in Heaven, how I really DETEST this THING, he litterly makes me very ILL…
Hondo Stone says
er..that’s “literally”
Bob Guess says
well, hopefully America has learned,,, dont trust a jerk to be president. He has done everything he can to destroy us,, it didnt work,, we will come back stronger. He was given a chance to see if he could do it or not,, and he failed..He used black rhetoric as an excuse and everywhere he could.. he will always be racist.
The Globalizer says
Bob, I’m so sorry … Obama just hasn’t tried hard enough to destroy the nation since the 2008 depression that occurred as a result of Republican economic mismanagement. After all, when compared with the rest of the world, the USA seem to have recovered faster than any other country. The UK and Europe are still dragging their asses, Russia is a mess in spite of its cheerless leader, China has made some major mistakes in its internal infrastructure investments that will slug its growth, and India and Africa are struggling.
So, let’s all send a letter to Obama to try harder to really mess up – what a jerk !
John says
The time has come to delete him even if it means Biden for awhile
mark k. says
Impeach Obama? Yeah,RIGHT! No one will prosecute him.
Frank Falco says
I agree the Congress need to impeach that snake in the grass Obama. He is one sorry SOB selling out the hard working American people. That is what going to happen when Israel finds out that Iran is making nuclear bombs that is going be another war that is going to be all she wrote end of the world.
Justin W says
This comes as no surprise. President Obama has consistently worked to destroy America. His policies have had the effect of making things worse for America and Americans.
Hopefully President Trump will deal in a tough manner with Iran. Hopefully he will put a team in place that will examine Obama deals and start fixing the mess that the Obama administration has made.
Sam Griffith says
what good would it do to impeach him now ? except maybe declaring marshal law. he,s gone in a few months. he,s done most of the damage already. this should have been done years ago.but with a no balls senate & congress what do you expect?
Alan Humphries says
This Congress,this weak azz Congress impeach the Emporer? Save your energy,ain’t going to happen.
Jerry says
The republican party won’t do anything I have been sending emails for years at least 2 times a week
drbhelthi says
In his semi-autobiography, former MOSSAD spy, Ari Ben-Menashe reveals a tip of the iceberg of trillions that US administrations in the 1970s and 1980s – prior to the alias, Barack H. Obama – have wasted on illegal deals via the MOSSAD. Americans interested in the treasonous subterfuge of the CIA-Bush Sr., CIA-Clinton, CIA-Bush Jr. administrations will improve their info-base by reading Ben-Menashe´s book, “Profits of War: Inside the Secret U.S. – Israeli Arms Network.”
The book is no longer suppressed by Israeli-controlled publishers and is available from various sources.
Southern By Choice says
Exactly why the Bushes and Clintons do not want Trump elected. I have a feeling the doors on all of the secrets, back room deals and treason would be opened wide and some people fear the truth coming out. They can’t control Trump,which is the reason they wills top at nothing to defeat him. They want Cinton in office because she is in just as deep as they are. Obama pulled the strings at DOJ and FBI on the Clinton e-mail scandal because he was just as guilty and no telling what those 30,000 “erased” e-mails would have shown. They were deleted for some reason and it sure wasn’t so the people wouldn’t know what they had for dinner.
Constitutionalist says
Obama should NEVER be impeached.
Only LEGITIMATE office-holders can be impeached, ergo to impeach him would be to tacitly declare, “Yes, you ARE natural-born and DO have a Constitutionally-legitimate presidency.”
Just arrest, try, and convict him – anything from fraud(never eligible to run, much less BE president), to “personation”(a crime in which you pretend to be legitimate while NOT being so), to perjury(lying under oath, for D’OweBama has held MANY aliases, as well as not adhered to only the powers the president is legitimately entitled to under Article 2), on down to TREASON, the only crime defined IN the Constitution.
Why impeach a traitorous, treasonous, fraudulent, con-man perjurer?
Treat him like someone who has lied on their rental app; evict his ass, him AND his spendthrift wastrel family.
Or a military coup would also do the trick – basically, whatever it takes to prevent him from issuing a presidential pardon for The Liar and/or her husband or any of the Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush/Rove or any of the OWG/NWO ilk.
John says
Trump has his own plane so let’s put this one out of service so Obo can not escape when the public make a run on the WH to remove him
old1 says
This shows how much he thinks of America. Give them everything they demand plus money. Then make a backroom deal so Trump will have a hard time fixing this failed deal. This man has done everything he can to destroy America but once he’s gone we will rebuild.
Robert F says
I wonder what obama, killery and kerry got out of this deal.
Lou says
Come on Congress grow a spine
poolejoe says
whats the difference between the two parties?? NOTHING!!!! they”re all in on it shut up and pay us for telling you dumb ass’es how to live your lifes
Thomas Ryscavage says
The deal with Iran has always been for one and only one reason and that is a percentage of the billions of dollars to be returned to Iran will go into a secret bank account of President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. All three will be divorced within a couple of years. FOLLOW the money very closely.
farmer john says
FUCK….OBAMA and his DUDE WIFE….MICHAEL……..FAGS…!
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Iran should & ought to have been blown off the face of the earth back during the time when that damned POS ragheaded SOB the late Ayatollah As@ahollah Khoemeni who was supported by none other than France in getting him into power in 1979 and had seized our embassy and the Traqui embassy there in Teheran, but no, our damned do nothing Congress was too damned lazy to do a damned thing in 1979, they had former Figurehead Carter backed up AGAINIST the wall & tied in knots. Had that would have taken place in the first place, there would be no Iran nuke deal. The Iran nuke deal was the very worst thing our country ever did.
PursueJustice says
I’m all for impeachment of this so-called president. But who is going to do it? Congress? Now there’s a joke. The Senate? Another joke. Let’s face it we have a lawless government. Obama knows he can do anything he wants and no one will stop him. I would say that is a good indication America is screwed. All thanks to the myriads of low information voters who cared more about what they might get from their government and so voted the liar in. Our government is more corrupt than a third world nation. One set of rules for Washington and another for “we the people.” Anybody who voted for Obama should hide his or her head in shame.
Mike Dar says
Heck, the shenanigans this admin has pulled.. also included, early on, asking a certain South American country to be willing, and paid to, ship unrefined Uranium to Iran in secret.
The discussions ended when that country flat refused to participate, but Hillary sold out American Uranium.
So much has Obama lied to Congress and the American people on this.. and lets face it, any issue that meets resistance, that it isn’t funny, amusing or lightly taken any longer.
Obama will hide so many records before and after leaving office one would think he has, like Hillary, run his own private intelligence operation within Government.
